A.B.C. Warriors

Story:

'The Bougainville Massacre part 1': we meet General Blackblood during a raid led by his Straw Dogs against a defenseless mission school on a remote Pacific island. He takes his name by drinking the oil of dead ABC Warriors. Blackblood is needed for Hammerstein squad because he is an expert in guerrilla warfare. But first, the bit of his brain that makes him a butcher has to be cut away after Joe Pineapples blows a neat hole into Blackblood metal heart (6 pages).

Comments:

First apparition of Blackblood which origin story will be link to Mongrol's origins in the recent 'Volgan War' story arc. Here Volgan uses tripods, "Daddy Long Legs" resembling the one describes in H. G. Welles 'War of the Worlds'. In the same vein, Medusa's Mars warriors will also use tripods (Medusa's creatures are based on number 3). In this strip Deadlock's sword is also called 'X-caliber'.
Joe Pineapples language code: 'A1' (affirmative), 'N&V' (null and void).

About this blog

This blog is a complement to the French wiki page dedicated to Pat Mills, with the obvious aim to have illustrations associated with all the works published by Mr Mills on any form. If on the wiki page only the latest paperback are cited, I will try here to also detailed all the publishing forms associated with a particular story. For 2000AD material, this goal has been previously attempted by the indispensable Barney's database (see links).
The task is of course gigantic, so it will take some time before all displayed main sections are activated.
I will try to stick with Pat Mills current activity and paperback releases to progress through his impressive bibliography. Description sheet of each individual book or comic can be reach by cliking on its picture caption hypertext link. Note that user of chrome navigator seems to experienced banner display problem when ABP is active.
